Fox in the Penalty Area

"Everyone. Tomorrow, the company's working hours will be postponed for half a day. You can come to work after watching the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team at home."

When Yan Yan saw the announcement in the company group, he also heard the cheers from the office.

He followed his colleagues and shouted: "Long live the boss!"

Then cut to the WeChat group of "Dongchuan Middle School Football Team Jincheng Branch" to show off: "Haha! Our company just notified that tomorrow we can go to work half a day late!"

Soon Zhong Shihao replied to him in the group: "Damn, I'm so envious! Our company makes me go to work two hours late... What is two hours enough for? It takes me more than an hour to commute on the road!"

Tang Yuan: "Be content, old Zhong, our unit doesn't give evening shifts at all."

Zhong Shihao: "The problem is that our company is two hours late, so I still have to go to work? Then I can only watch the game on the subway and bus..."

Chu Yifan: "Isn't that good? It just kills your boring commuting time to work."

Meng Xi: "What is your company's arrangement for the Chu team? How do you watch the game?"

Chu Yifan sent a photo of him at the airport.

Everyone was shocked: "Damn! Team Chu, you actually want to go to the United States to watch the game live?!"

Chu Yifan: "What the hell! I have been arranged to go on a business trip. I will watch the game in the hotel tomorrow morning."

"I'm so envious! I can enjoy this moment alone..."

"Captain Chu, you didn't intend to apply for a business trip at this time, did you? This way you can avoid my sister-in-law..."

"Team Chu, you come out to watch the football on the pretext of a business trip alone, sister-in-law won't be jealous, right?"

Chu Yifan: "Fuck! You are enough!"

Chatting in the chat group was in full swing, Yan Yan had already put down his phone and started working.

However, it is obvious in the office that most people's minds are not on work.

Their hearts have already flown to the distant Los Angeles, USA.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on June 25th local time,

At 8:00 a.m. on June 26th, Beijing time, the last round of the Group B match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team will kick off with a whistle.

This is the first time Chinese fans don't have to stay up late to watch a Chinese team game.

However, since this day is Friday, not a rest day, many office workers happen to be on their way to work.

In order to make it easier for everyone to watch the game, some companies will announce that employees are allowed to work for a few hours at night, or simply take half a day off, just like Yan Yan's company.

However, some companies were unmoved, saying that the World Cup is the World Cup, and there must be no less work for a minute.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of noise on the Internet regarding this matter. Many people released their company's holiday regulations, or no holiday regulations.

Almost every piece of news like this will attract the attention of the media and netizens.

Generally speaking, everyone supports the company's holiday, or the humanized arrangement of allowing a few hours late, so that everyone can watch the game with peace of mind.

After all, this game is the last game of the Chinese team in the World Cup group stage, and the opponent is the world's top team like Brazil.

Surely no one wants to miss this opportunity.

There are already news on the Internet that in order to be able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, some fans directly resigned because the company did not allow him to ask for leave or take leave...

The reason for resignation is one sentence: I want to cheer for the Chinese team!

It caused everyone to like and retweet his company frantically.

Some companies did not allow employees to be late or take leave to watch the game at home at the beginning, but it was posted on the Internet and condemned unanimously. After the public opinion became louder. They also had to be pressured to change company regulations.

Some companies simply took advantage of the opportunity of crisis public relations to turn bad things into good things. Not only did they allow employees to take time off to watch the football at home, but they also temporarily installed large projectors in the company, allowing employees to watch the football together in the company and cheer for the Chinese team. It has won the favor and welcome of many netizens.

Squares, parks, commercial centers, pedestrian streets in major cities...wherever there are big screens, they also decided to use these big screens to broadcast live games to the general public on this day.

There are also major movie theaters, which have also launched activities one after another, opening movie halls and private rooms for free for everyone to watch the game.

Some cities even decided to open the stadium, so that more fans can gather in the stadium and watch the game on the big screen of the stadium...

Chinese people's enthusiasm for football reached its climax at this moment.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is naturally because the Chinese team performed well in the first two group matches. Although they failed to win, they scored goals in both group matches and remained unbeaten.

Chinese fans, or the Chinese people, after seeing the performance of this team, are naturally willing to support such a group that is truly honoring the country.

In fact, the idea of ​​Chinese fans is very simple, don't look at the usual online bragging, saying "I don't make it to the top eight, so I am sorry to come back". But in fact, as long as the Chinese team can show their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, even if they lose the game, everyone will support it.

The so-called "love you even if you win, love you even if you lose" is of course not mindless support, but to let fans see something worth supporting.

Through the first two group games, Chinese fans have seen the shining points of the Chinese team.

As soon as Qin Qi walked into the gate of Jiaxiang High School, he saw the students gathered under the school's bulletin board, crowded and lively.

When he walked over, he heard someone in the crowd saying loudly: "... In order to allow the students to watch the game with peace of mind, to cheer for the Chinese team, and to cheer for Wang Guangwei, the senior of our Jiaxiang High School, the school decided to have a half-day holiday tomorrow. Go back to normal classes..."

Before the words were finished, loud cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"Good!!" Qin Qi also raised his arms and shouted.

There was a commotion in front of the bulletin board for a while, and everyone gradually dispersed. Qin Qi also followed the students to their respective teaching buildings.

Along the way, I heard everyone discussing the World Cup excitedly.

In the past ten days, the "World Cup" has been the number one hot topic on the campus of Jiaxiang High School. Regardless of whether men or women, teachers and students, watch football or not, they will talk about the World Cup and the Chinese team.

In the post bar of Jiaxiang High School, seniors posted videos and photos of Wang Guangwei playing football in Jiaxiang High School. It quickly got a lot of comments and likes.

Of course, the senior who became famous for Wang Guangwei deliberately avoided the story of Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai's initial acquaintance. After all, that would damage their image of the "King Team".

I heard that in the post bar of Dongchuan Middle School, the seniors of Dongchuan Middle School vividly told the juniors about Hu Lai's wonderful performance in the first Anton Cup final. The encounter between him and Wang Guangwei is naturally the focus of the story...

"Hey, what do you think the national football team can do against the Brazilian team?"

"I don't ask too much, as long as I can score goals..."

"Hey, have you heard? There are rumors on the Internet that China will bid to host the 2034 World Cup!"

"I've seen this saying too, I don't know if it's true or not... But I think it's normal to want to bid for the World Cup based on our performance in this World Cup. This time, no one will criticize our bid for the World Cup. Is it the World Cup?"

"Hehe, if someone really dares to spray, I will spray their whole family to death on the Internet!"

"The 2034 World Cup... feels so far away..."

"What is so far away? Think about it, after this World Cup, the next one will be 2030, and the next one will be 2034? In fact, it will be after two World Cups..."

"It will take eight years, and I don't know where I will be after eight years..."

"It doesn't matter where he is, if the bid is really successful, I will go to watch the game wherever he is!"

"Jincheng should be able to get a place in the host city, right? I'll be in Jincheng by then..."

"Hey, old seven? Old seven!"

The person who was discussing saw Qin Qi, quickly called him to stop, and then went up to hug his shoulder: "Old Qi, you must be playing the World Cup in the national team by then!"

Qin Qi quickly waved his hands: "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"This is not nonsense!" The classmate who hugged him said seriously: "You will definitely take a career path in the future, right?"

Qin Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and shook his head: "But that doesn't mean that I will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup... There is still a long way between professional players and the World Cup."

The classmate patted him hard: "Oh, don't be modest, I believe you can do it!"

Qin Qi smiled without saying a word, deep in his heart he was extremely eager to participate in the World Cup, especially now, after feeling the ubiquitous World Cup atmosphere in society.

When he saw Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Xingyi and other stars who usually played with him in the World Cup, he couldn't help but think - how great it would be if I could be there too!

It's a pity that he is only sixteen years old now, and he is still far away from this goal.

If China can really successfully bid to host the World Cup, he will be 24 years old after eight years. In fact, he can really look forward to it...

Of course, now he wouldn't say it in front of his classmates even if he was killed.

Dreams are the goals of one's own efforts, not for publicity.

And most importantly - wouldn't it be a shame if it didn't happen?

Low key, Qin Qi, low key.

"Today is the last training session of this semester. You won't come to school for training tomorrow morning. You should have received the notification, right?" Li Ziqiang looked at the young players who had just finished training in front of him.

Everyone nodded: "It's all sent out."

Dongchuan Middle School issued a notice today that tomorrow will be a half-day holiday. All students can watch football at home without going to school in the morning, cheer for the Chinese team, and cheer for their seniors Hu Lai, Luo Kai, and Xia Xiaoyu at the same time.

In order to prevent parents from not believing the decision of the holiday, or to prevent some students from watching the game and cheating their parents to go to class normally, and then go out to play, parents will ask the school to be responsible for any problems... The school also specially gives each student I sent out a paper notification letter and asked them to take it back to their parents, informing them that the school will be closed for half a day tomorrow, so students don't have to go to school, and it is recommended to stay at home to watch the game.

The notification letter must also be signed and confirmed by the parents. At the same time, when they come to school again in the afternoon, the students should bring back the notification letter signed by the parents and return it to the head teacher of each class.

The whole set of procedures is very clear to ensure that there are as few potential safety hazards as possible.

The whole process is so proficient, of course, because Dongchuan Middle School has already had mature experience in this regard-Dongchuan Middle School also made the same arrangement in the first two games of this World Cup.

Although the game was in the early hours of the morning and midnight, Dongchuan Middle School also gave half a day off to all students except the senior three, allowing them to come back to school the next afternoon. The same is to send a paper notice to the parents of the students, and ask the parents to sign to ensure that they know their children's movements.

The reason for the exception is that senior high school students passed the college entrance examination in early June, ending their high school career. They don't come to school at all, they don't care about what they want to do, stay up late to watch football or something. This World Cup will surely become an extremely good memory in the lives of these senior high school graduates.

"Watch the football tomorrow, and then prepare for the final exam." Li Ziqiang waved his hand and dismissed the team.

From tomorrow onwards, he doesn't have to come to school anymore. He will enter the summer vacation ahead of schedule, and he can spend time with his daughter at home. When the time comes, he must take her to the surrounding areas to have fun and enjoy this rare family happiness.

When he walked out of the gate of Dongchuan Middle School, Li Ziqiang saw many students, teachers and passers-by taking pictures of the gate of Dongchuan Middle School or posing for pictures.

Without looking back, he knew that it must be Principal Zhai who hung up a new banner again.

Not to mention, thanks to Principal Zhai's little hobby, the business of the small advertising company near the school that specializes in making banners has improved a lot. A game can hang several banners:

"Warmly celebrate our school alumni Hu Lai, Luo Kai, and Xia Xiaoyu for participating in the World Cup!" before the game, and after the game "Warmly celebrate our school's alumni Hu Lai, Luo Kai, and Xia Xiaoyu for remaining undefeated in the World Cup (forcing back strong enemies) !", and a banner was hung below: "Warmly celebrate our school alumni Hu Lai/Luo Kai scoring a goal in the World Cup and winning glory for the country!"

Just like the subheading under a news report...

Not only hanging on the front door, but also on the side door, there are hangings on the teaching buildings of the school - the old principal not only wants to let people outside the school know how awesome Dongchuan Middle School is, but also let people in the school know that their alma mater has How powerful.

Although he knew that the content of the old principal's banner was almost the same, Li Ziqiang couldn't help but glanced back at the end, and then lost his mind slightly.

This time it's not those particularly simple and crude showing off.

"The wind rises from the end of Qingping, between the dance and the world - Dongchuan students cheer for the Chinese team!"

Li Ziqiang smiled, it's really rare, our old principal is also going to drag the text...

He looked back, walked under the school gate, and gradually walked away, turning to the parking lot to drive.

After the wind blows from the campus, it blows people's skirts and hair, rolls up the fallen leaves on the ground, takes them to the sky, and dances in the setting sun, like golden butterflies.

PS, Spain played really badly in the game in the early morning, and they didn't deserve to advance to the semi-finals. And once you take the lead, you play very ugly and arrogant. Always think that the overall situation is settled when you are in the lead, and then start to wave. When I played Croatia, I felt that the overall situation was settled and started to make substitutions and adjustments. As a result, Croatia scored two goals in a row. This game is also the same, after replacing Morata, let Switzerland equalize the score.

It is admirable that Switzerland dragged the game into a penalty shoot-out with one less player. It's a pity that the young players still failed to withstand the huge pressure of the penalty kick, and blinded Sommer's god-like performance... Sigh!

Italy and Belgium had a great first half, but I couldn't stand the second half. Although I usually write until the middle of the night, it is rare to stay up until five or six in the morning during the European Cup. So at the end I went to sleep because I was already sitting in the chair and I was falling asleep, and I didn't see what happened next... and didn't know what the end result was like.

In the two games tomorrow morning, I am optimistic that Denmark will beat the Czech Republic on penalties.

There is no suspense in the game between England and Ukraine. England must win with two goals!

But I thought about not watching it, I really can't stand it...
